Chapter 8: Q. 9.51 (page 370)

The P-value for a hypothesis test is 0.06. For each of the following significance levels, decide whether the null hypothesis should be rejected.

a. 伪=0.05

b. 伪=0.10

c.伪=0.06

Short Answer

Expert verified

For given value of P=0.06, null hypothesis should be as follows :-

(a) 伪=0.05:- Not rejected

(b) 伪=0.10:- Rejected

(c) 伪=0.06:- Rejected

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information

Value of伪=0.05

02

Part (a) Step 2. Explanation

Here null hypothesis should not be rejected because P=0.06>伪=0.05

03

Part (b) Step 1. Given information

Value of伪=0.10

04

Part (b) Step 2. Explanation

Here null hypothesis should be rejected becauseP=0.06<伪=0.10

05

Part (c) Step 1. Given information

Value of伪=0.06

06

Part (c) Step 2. Explanation

Here null hypothesis should be rejected becauseP=0.06=伪.

Finding P-values. In Exercises 5鈥�8, either use technology to find the P-value or use Table A-3 to find a range of values for the P-value.

Airport Data Speeds: The claim that for Verizon data speeds at airports, the mean. The sample size is and the test statistic is

t =-1.625 .

Using Technology. In Exercises 5鈥�8, identify the indicated values or interpret the given display. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution, as described in Part 1 of this section. Use = 0.05 significance level and answer the following:

a. Is the test two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed?

b. What is the test statistic?

c. What is the P-value?

d. What is the null hypothesis, and what do you conclude about it?

e. What is the final conclusion?

Biometric Security In a USA Today survey of 510 people, 53% said that we should replace passwords with biometric security, such as fingerprints. The accompanying Statdisk display results from a test of the claim that half of us say that we should replace passwords with biometric security.

Technology. In Exercises 9鈥�12, test the given claim by using the display provided from technology. Use a 0.05 significance level. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), or critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Body Temperatures Data Set 3 鈥淏ody Temperatures鈥� in Appendix B includes 93 body temperatures measured at 12 虏鲁 on day 1 of a study, and the accompanying XLSTAT display results from using those data to test the claim that the mean body temperature is equal to 98.6掳F. Conduct the hypothesis test using these results.
Fill in the following blanks.
a. Thet-test is..................... to moderate violations of the normality assumption.
b. The t-test can sometimes be unduly affected by outliers because the sample mean and sample standard deviation are not................................. to outliers.

Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 9鈥�32, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution, as described in Part 1 of this section.

Cell Phones and Cancer In a study of 420,095 Danish cell phone users, 135 subjects developed cancer of the brain or nervous system (based on data from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute as reported in USA Today). Test the claim of a somewhat common belief that such cancers are affected by cell phone use. That is, test the claim that cell phone users develop cancer of the brain or nervous system at a rate that is different from the rate of 0.0340% for people who do not use cell phones. Because this issue has such great importance, use a 0.005 significance level. Based on these results, should cell phone users be concerned about cancer of the brain or nervous system?
